Tio Pepe,

I don't think a visit went by without your decapitated thumb trick. I remember it from when I was kid then you did it for my kids and then I saw you showcasing your talent with your grandchildren. It never got old and kept me laughing. Thank you for that memory. We will miss you but were blessed with all the laughter you gave us.

Pepe, You always had a joke up your sleave and a big heart. I remember when I was about 5 years old I was staying at your mom's house with Terri and you took me and bought me a pair of shoes at Kenny's shoe store in The Plaza in National City. I guess you did not want to see my worn out little shoes anymore. I know you are now resting in peace with our Dear Lord and my dad as well. So here is a Aye yai yai Aye yai yai Mexican Mariachi chant for you.
Blessings to the family.

Uncle Pepe,
You were a dear Godfather ... I will forever remember your jokes, smile, love and care for me. I thank you for making me feel like your daughter when I lived in Los Angeles many years ago. I have no doubt that you are making everyone laugh there in heaven. Love and hugs,

Pepe, no words can say how much I love you. You were such a sweet most loving brother. My heart hurts so much because I'll miss you so much, but I'm happy you are in God's arms forever and free. You had a beautiful rosary & funeral and yes the Mariachi's were there too singing your favorite songs.
Elsa, may God bless you for 50 years of marriage with Pepe I know he was your "best friend" hold those beautiful memories close to your heart. May the Lord help in healing all our hearts.
Sincerely with all my love,
Terry.
